Even if you have an authenticator, you will still get hacked if you don't practice safe web browsing.
For those who can't afford or think getting an authenticator is a lot of hassle, you can always follow these steps
1) There are a lot of con websites who claims to be Blizzard and send you emails, saying that they want you to click this link or give your username and password to verify details. Always remember Blizzard will never ask for your username and password, be it email or ingame. Careful when clicking email links.
2) Make sure your password is hard one to figure out. Change your password regularly.
3) Here's another great tip. When you key in your password, do not enter them in sequence. Always key them in non-sequence to fool keyloggers.
Example, if your password is abc123, you can enter 'c12' first, then move your mouse to before 'c' and enter 'ab', then move your mouse to after '2' and enter '3'
When you press enter, your password will be abc123
But to keyloggers, your password will look like c12ab3
Hope this helps.

1. hide your CD keys off other people, including your fwens and families. your so called 'fwen' and even your brothers/ sisters can turn into monsters when comes to profit.
2. 'move' your bnet account to another mailing service after you have recovered your stuff. some might argue this is not necessarily but do understand the hidden threat: your mailing account hooked to your current bnet account might also be compromised, and some of them would have certain backup-plans for you to recover your password, in which haxxor can take advantage of.
3. protect your pc, by any means necessary. other than installing AV and do regular scans and hope it will protect it, try to restrict/ block others from accessing your pc, or installing stuff into it. if there's malware/ virus/ trojan detect in it, disable any form of network and internet access and limit resources to be inward only and stop any type of login related action using that pc other than window login.
